Quite honestly, almost any mesh system that has gigabit ports should see you OK. My experience with a TP-Link system is described in the link below, since then prices and packs have changed, and the Deco S4 is a comparable product and sometimes prices may be better. I'm happy with a two unit mesh, some properties benefit from 3 or even 4 unit systems. If you're flash for cash, look at the excellent Netgear and Asus offerings. Personally I'd avoid Google or Amazon Eero systems - but if you've already sold your soul to a smart speaker then my data privacy concerns for these companies controlling your network may be irrelevant.

This is a good deal and gives you wifi6 and anti virus too. Would be great if you switched to a faster package at a later date.

Cheers. Do they automtically put you through to the beat channels for wifi as what i currently have slows down the speed on my router

if money is not a problem the Asus XT8 is a nice option to go for if your 100% in need of wifi coverage but to be on the latest tech comes with a hefty price tag.
I'm sure Unknown67 could tell you more about that as his signature says hes using them.

there is 50 reviews on amazon but everyone's house build/layout is different.
I can tell you the deco is better then the hub but i cant tell you if its going to give you better wifi coverage.
if it does not do what you want it to do you can send it back and then maybe go for a higher priced model.
I'm in a 4 bedroom house with an xbox in each room using this.

Yes they are a great solution for most average users. I have 3 friends who swear by them. To do it on a "budget" look at a 2-pack of the M4 or S4 units. If that doesnt sort it completely then you can always add a third unit later. Albeit it will work out cheaper if you go for the 3-pack first (still under £100).
Whichever you choose then check back here (or search forum) to get the correct set up "sequence".
